After years of playing in bands and struggling to remain independent from corporate America, I started to realize that the "work" we do at our daily grind, is in fact not real work at all. On the other end of the spectrum, right brained, creative activities are not considered a persons life-work by many people, but are mostly defined as hobbies and thing you do when you are done with "work" for the day.This narrow attitude about work and jobs in American society marginalizes many of those who's greatest talents are creative-right-brained musical and artistic abilities.
To be completely candid, the main reason I titled my first podcast "Fuck Work!" is because I'm sick and tired of hearing people brag about how great their jobs are, or how much they hate their jobs. If you work and have a great job/career with the golden handcuffs, retirement, stocks, and all that jazz, well good for you, but I got some news for you: No one really gives a half a shit, and in my opinion you're awesome full-time job is worthless if you do nothing outside of that to help people that are less fortunate. If you don't like your job, then you must understand that you can remove yourself from any situation you do not feel comfortable in. Maybe you should think about if the job is worth the stress it causes and time you are forced to spend away from family, children, and friends, while instead spending most of the day with asshole bosses, customers and co-workers.
I have much much more to say about the topic of work and jobs but I'll just freeze it there for now. One more thing though, I know that many people take pride in their work and like the people they work with, and their boss. There are some decent employers out there, I think that the most important point I want to highlight is that when you work, you shouldn't feel like a slave or like there is no hope for a better alternative to your current occupation. I think that the world would be a much happier place if people could find real intrinsic value in the work they do for that steady pay-check. A lot of people just work for material gain, and find extrinsic value in their work. It seems that many of those types of people don't really care how hard or fucked up the job is, they just do it because they have this overwhelming drive to survive. To them, extrinsic rewards are worth putting up with the stresses of day-to-day workplace issues and drama.
In the upcoming Dusty Dirt Punk Radio Podcasts, I want to try to talk more about the theme, or topic or the show. I am just getting used to recording voice only and talking into a microphone rather than singing, I have plans to do some interviews, discussions, and a bit of sketch comedy which I would like to work on writing with other people. I have to of course, give a big thanks to all the friend and fans who supported this podcast from it's conception. I'm attempting to do two podcasts a week right now, this week I will be putting together Episode 2 "Fuck You!" and Episode 3 with the working title "Violent Night"- an all-request Christmas edition of the podcast, it will be my gift to all of you!! Anything you want me to play, I will play it! Even if I think it sucks Rhinoceros Nuts!!!! --Dusty Dirt
